Just so I understand -- are you saying there's actually been a conspiracy amongst the Jazz coaches and players all this time to lie about Jefferson's knowledge of the offense in order to cover up the truth, which is that Deron Williams ... I don't know. Did some unnamed thing wrong when it came to working Al Jefferson into the offense?
AJ has been playing great for about a month and he was never playing as bad as some Jazz fans thought he was. Ak was finally playing with energy before he hurt his ankle. Why is it when DW shoots poorly or has too many TOs its his fault. Should AK and AJ be blamed for their mistakes or lack of effort? Is it DW fault when he passes the ball to a wide open AK and clanks it off the rim? A few more games and some people will blame DW for Stockton and Malone not winning a championship? Perhaps people should realize that DW was traded, he didn't leave, he was traded. The Jazz FO thought they could improve the team by doing it because they realized that DW wasn't going to get it done and that he most likely would leave. I think the did the best for what the organization needed. There was no conspiracy against AJ and AK. I am sure AJ recently good play has more to do with him adjusting to the way the Jazz play. Did you not see how AJ instantly did the pick and roll without thinking. Perhaps AK energy level has to do with the fact that he is in a contract year, that he has been hurt so he is excited to play and yes he is needed more because DW isn't here. I don't really see any change in his game since DW has left (two whole games). Of course he is going to get more shots but not that many more and he has brought the ball up more but that was when the Jazz just made the trade. Remember the Dallas blowout.
I just find it funny that people are saying after (two games) that DW was the problem and now the will make the playoffs and DW sucks. Utah Jazz Homerism at its best.

He's played well for the last month with and without Deron.

No one is saying that, good call. Pull your head out please.
yea I am the one who has to pull their head out. I stand by what I said and all you have to do is ignore all the crap that has been said about DW and listen to the TV and chat on this board to see what I said is true. However you can't see it because it is your head that is stuck.
oh, so the pick and roll was all Deron's invention? Sheesh...
at any rate, Jefferson's play has improved a great deal over the past few weeks, aside from other issues, he seemed completely one-dimensional up until a couple weeks ago - - now he's showing some variety in his play.
So to be a "pick and roll" guard, you have to be the one who "invented" it?
To quote a wise man, "sheesh...."
